  • System and method for configuring a switch matrix on-board a vehicle based on network information
    Patent number: 10320712
    Abstract: A method includes receiving a request associated with a communications path from a first device to a second device. The method includes generating switching configuration data based on network topology data associated with the communications path. The switching configuration data indicates a configuration of a switch matrix of a satellite. The method further includes causing the switch matrix to initialize or modify the communications path based on the switching configuration data. A portion of the communications path includes components of a payload of the satellite. The components including the switch matrix.
    Type: Grant

  • System and method for bend-in-the-wire adjacency management
    Patent number: 8347074
    Abstract: A method for translating network data transmissions begins with a data transmission received at a router. An interface identifier is prepended before a first field of the data transmission, forming a prepended field. The data transmission is transmitted to a translation device. The data transmission is translated without altering the prepended field. The translated data transmission is transferred back to the router. The interface identifier is removed. The translated data is transmitted while maintaining adjacency with an adjacent peer using the interface identifier.
